Buyers of Oakfield Corners bred cattle have been handsomely rewarded in the show ring as well as producing the highest GTPI cattle available and this group will be no exception!

Jonathan and Alicia Lamb, the entire Lamb family and the complete staff of Oakfield Corners Dairy, left no stone unturned. Only the finest on the farm are selected for the sale, the quality was amazing from beginning to end with pedigrees as long as your arm. The fitting staff had the cattle looking show ready and the Lamb’s hosted an open house the evening before the sale and a pig roast immediately following.

Congratulations once again to the entire Lamb family for an amazing sale, outstanding leadership and as always, a first class event. As Jonathan stated at the start of the sale, they hope each and every animal they sell brings great pleasure and financial rewards to the new owners and they will follow their progress.
